Back To Index La Femme Nikita
 Barnes & Noble French writer-director Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) pours it all out in this dazzling action odyssey about a foul-mouthed junkie-turned-assassin. Like a French twist on Pygmalion, Nikita (the hypnotic Anne Parillaud) is a gang-running street girl who gets caught after killing a cop; in light of this, shes quizzically chosen by a shadowy intelligence bureau as the ideal Nobody to be remade and remodeled. Trained in the various arts of killing by an engagingly hangdog officer (Tcheky Karyo), she assumes the undercover alias of "Josephine" and is plopped back into society. She proceeds to kick butt without taking names, and, ironically enough, strikes up a very normal relationship with a very normal grocery worker (Jean-Hughes Anglade). Themes of socialization aside, Nikita served as a terrifically stylish Hollywood calling card for Besson, and it spawned the off-kilter remake Point of No Return as well as a somewhat campy television series. But when all the bullet casings are counted, this white-knuckle original is the one to see. Eddy Crouse Interested in the song lyrics? - Check out themostlyrics.com!
